As we all know the former prevailed. Folks on the later side proceeded to light their hair on fire, point fingers, go hysterical, and begin a process of despicable labeling of opponents. As if it was something out of a sci-fi or zombie movie.

Liar, bigot, racist, Nazi, misogynist, mental case, and dozens of other terms of endearment targeted towards the Sexual Predator in Chief, and his followers.

And then a very curious dynamic developed...the moral reality began to peel away like an onion, and each layer has become uglier than the last.

Outspoken Liberal icons from Weinstein to Lauer, and an entire bus load in between, CK, Spacey, Franken, Halperin, Conyers, Keillor, Oreskes, Simpson. They even lament predators of the past, Bill Clinton, Teddy Kennedy. Turns out Trump is simply a little leaguer when it comes to the big leagues.

Are the Conservatives innocent? Certainly not.

But if it was a prize fight it's way past a TKO.

And the question is, was there cause and effect? Something to ponder by minds greater than mine.

What if? What if the dishonest corruption prevailed? Would the charade of hidden shame continue? Would the champion of women who stood by her man at the worst of times been different?

If nothing else it's irony. Like some kind of Shakespearean tragedy.

They all try an equivalence for each side, but with every new unmasking comes an even more lurid detail. Sex toys Matt? Come on man! Really?
